looks to me as if this is simply hysteria
Except that it's against the law to have a gun on school property.

"Except that it's against the law to have a gun on school property." And, Lord knows, NO ONE has ever willingly violated the law! The law, sir, is a ass. My father in law recalls going to school with a Colt .45 strapped on and having to hang it up on his coat hook when he got to school. Far from being illegal to carry a gun to school, it was unfathomable not to. And no one was ever shot on school grounds. While those two kids in question were in possession of that rifle they were unquestionably the safest two kids on campus. My old tagline was "The Holocaust was perfectly legal" and I used to have to explain to people that what was legal was not necesarily right. Gun control, even at a public school, is wrong. Oddly enough, I am in the company of liberal Rosie O'Donnell when I say that. See, she applied for a permit for her child's bodyguard to carry a full-auto 9mm Uzi on the grounds of a public school. Of course, she doesn't want YOUR kid protected with a machine gun and she say that YOUR kid is safer when guns are banned from schools. But, for some inexplicable reason, HER KID is safer when protected with an Uzi. Summary: I don't give a flying fig about ANY gun control laws. Anyone who violates them is not a criminal, but a PATRIOT.

A "law" which was struck down by SCOTUS, then reenacted with a minor change of text under the Klinton regime.
It's still BUNK, an insult to the second amendment.
If taken literally it would be illegal to have a gun in your HOME if you lived too near a school.

Except that it's against the law to have a gun on school property.I've been a high school teacher for 17 years and an NRA certified Instructor for more time than that. I spent the last nine years in the inner city. This action by the students was at the very least, felony stupid.
Look, the kids know the score. The police officer at my school was jumped yesterday and beaten senseless, probably by an MS13 gang member. Introducing a firearm into an open and unsecured enviroment like that parking lot is a guaranteed recipe for trouble from every direction. They could just as easily gone around the block and out of sight.
